I am a compulsive Etsy fan. I love the vintage section of the site although it can be a beast to search. As a fan of vintage and retro cookbooks, I like to search them whenever I can. Some of these have great covers and photographs, and it kills me to know my grandmother owned half of these and I could have already had them if I had appreciated them back then.
Here's the deal... I'm presently a library and info science student who has a deep interest in archives and ephemera. I especially love mid-century and modern culture. On top of this, I am also a reluctantly good cook. I like recipes... I like to add additional garlic and spice to my recipes... and I need pictures to really know if I'm doing things well. The Kodachrome-ish images and dainty cartoons that deck most retro cookbooks are both helpful and adorable. I hope to share much of my collection here and also offer hot tips on actually cooking the foods.
These are my present favorite books up on Etsy... enjoy!
